What is Green energy?

Green energy is energy that comes from nature, just like how you get energy from playing outside all day.

Imagine your favorite toy, it needs batteries to work, right? Well, sometimes those batteries are made from things that hurt the Earth. But with green energy, we use things like the sun, wind, and water, stuff that’s always around us, to make power instead.

Like the Sun Is Your Friend

When you're outside on a sunny day, you feel warm because the sun is shining. Green energy uses that warmth to create electricity. It's kind of like having a giant blanket that turns sunlight into power for your house, no batteries needed!

The Wind Can Help Too

Have you ever felt the wind push your hair back when you're running? That same wind can help make green energy. Big machines called wind turbines spin in the wind, and they turn that motion into electricity, just like how a pinwheel spins when the wind blows.

Green energy is clean, friendly, and never runs out, it's like having a toy that keeps going forever!
